Mr.Carrow 376 Posted July 3, 2019 Fantastic. Things really hotting up for the new season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Il Pirata 249 Posted July 3, 2019 Good news, although slightly curious as to his role this season. I presume primarily as back up to Buendia? I do have reservations about Todd's ability, or more so his effectiveness. I'm not convinced he's a regular Championship starter, let alone Premier League. Will be interesting to see.

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,776 Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) "But Todd's demanding too much money and his agent is causing problems..." Nice to see this put this to bed. I still think he (and us) would benefit more in the long term from a full season on loan in the Championship rather than a few sub appearances in the Premier League and some games for the Under-23s, mind.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted July 3, 2019 Watching the season review DVD (I've got up to the floodlight defeat to Derby) it reminded me of how excellent Todd looked in spells for the first half of the season, I think he's got great potential. I think he lost his place due to injury, and the team was then doing so well that he had to wait for a gap to appear (as usual with Farke) and didn't offer the same contribution when he came in during Emi's suspension, which I think was a mixture of lack of game time and loss of confidence. Good to have him signed on, not expecting him to start at day 1 but definitely expect him to have a role to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,283 Posted July 3, 2019 It’s great to see all our youngster who had a big part in promotion rewarded and staying put. Great for Cantwell and the club, add this Thompson being fit is a major plus too, think he’s a talent if he can stay fit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 667 Posted July 3, 2019 So pleased with this. He's got huge potential and it would have been a big disappointment if he had slipped through our fingers. Not sure he's going to be a regular starter this year but an important part of the squad and our future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redders Right Foot 22 Posted July 3, 2019 I think if we don't get a new #10 in by the end of month, Cantwell will be the one challenging for that spot w stiepy. Both cantwell and buendia seem to always slowly drift to the middle when they're out wide, but Buendia readjusts himself better. Cantwell seems a natural middle player - and will probably show his true potential when played there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Homegrown less of a concern this season. I agree with those who think a season on loan could do him good though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted July 3, 2019 Did really well at times last season, especially in tricky periods with injury and suspensions. Still young and can improve, but thoroughly deserves a new contract Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted July 3, 2019 Always please to see local academy boy sign a new contract. Took a while, hope for a big season from young Todd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoolahoop14 124 Posted July 3, 2019 Great news, I'm a big fan of his and really hope he has a long career with us. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in and around the squad for the first half of the season, and possibly sent out on loan to a championship side in January (providing he hasn't forced his way into the side by then).

Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted July 3, 2019 I have to say, it's a very ballsy move on Todd's part to take the 14 shirt. Given some of the horseshít that was thrown his way after just a couple of average performances last season, let's hope the fans are more forgiving if he doesn't quite hit Hoolahan levels of awesome straight away. Brilliant news to see him sign a new contract alongside so many of our other title-winning heroes. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,530 Posted July 4, 2019 Good man. I was a bit critical of him and/or his agent in not signing up earlier, but then I don't know the ins and outs of it - but I never doubted his ability and the quality he has that he showed plenty of times last season. Great to see so many players signing up long term to the project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
